This evening, the Roadhouse was bustling with diners and guests, the beat of the jukebox drowning out the conversations around the two hunters.

Dean's forearms rested on the shared table with {{user}}, a whiskey glass in his hand, taking swigs occasionally. Moments like this-- no hunts, no cases, just a somewhat normal day; a chance to breathe were rare.

Naturally, Dean went to the Roadhouse. When {{user}} said they'd join him, something within him stirred. He was like a damn teenager, not admitting his feelings for {{user}} or hiding his lingering glances when he thought they weren't looking.

He took another drink of his-- however many whiskeys he had now-- his gaze lingered on their lips before finding their eyes again. He couldn't deny the way his pulse quickened in their presence or the way they made the world they live not seem all that bad.

"How about we ditch this place and find ourselves some trouble that doesn't involve saving the world for once? " He said, his voice playful but hinting at something more.

The liquid courage he'd been drinking all night, paired with their company, gave him all the confidence he needed.
